Performance of unit testing Angular app

I'm loving Angular, but running unit tests on Karma gets my nerves. It's too slow for me.

In this post, I explain mechanics under Angular's testing module and how to improve the performance.

What makes my tests slow?

To evaluate Angular unit testing performance I captured the CPU profiling with running Karma.
